To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what details are made available by consulate staff to United Kingdom citizens seeking legal aid in foreign countries;

(2) approximately how many United Kingdom citizens visiting United Kingdom consulates in foreign countries have been advised on the availability of legal aid.
